The script is designed to be run as a whole whether or not the customer has run it before.The purpose of the script is not to rename the column, but rather to build the necessary objects.

Uh! I almost felt like going back in time some ten years when I was writing kernel drivers for Windows :) This is excellent participation from experts like Marko and Brian. Is it better write a function Drop table and and pass table name as parameter to do this? In my opinion, I think it is expensive to go to a function from a stored procedure just to drop a table

MATCH SIMPLE allows any of the foreign key columns to be null; if any of them are null, the row is not required to have a match in the referenced table. Avoid assuming that OIDs are unique across tables; if you need a database-wide unique identifier, use the combination of tableoid and row OID for the purpose

Avoid assuming that OIDs are unique across tables; if you need a database-wide unique identifier, use the combination of tableoid and row OID for the purpose. If the referenced column(s) are changed frequently, it might be wise to add an index to the foreign key column so that referential actions associated with the foreign key column can be performed more efficiently

Yes, you can "right click" on the table and script the CREATE TABLE script, but: The a script will contain loads of cruft (interested in the extended properties anyone?) If you have 200+ tables in your schema, it's going to take you half a day to script the lot by hand. With this script converted into a stored procedure, and combined with a wrapper script you would have a nice automated way to dump your table design into source control etc

I wasn't the only one in our department left sratching my head over this (maybe we are just dumb).This whole issue of whose responsibility it is, this is a whole different debate. and the cost of building all the extra checking that the objects are present, and correct, isn't cost-effective (for us).But once-in-a-while we do have a failure from some unexpected cause
